When a safety instruction is unclear, ask again and confirm your understanding before starting.
The idea
Use もう一度 with 言っていただけますか for a polite request to repeat. ゆっくり話してください asks for slower speech. With てから, the first action comes before the second.
Examples
- すみません、安全の説明をもう一度言っていただけますか。Excuse me, could you repeat the safety instructions?
- すみません、よく聞こえませんでした。Sorry, I could not hear well.
- もう少しゆっくり話してください。Please speak a little more slowly.
- どのボタンを押しますか。Which button do I press?
- 作業の前に、ヘルメットをかぶりますか。Do I put on a helmet before starting work?
- 確認します。機械を止めてから、掃除しますね。Let me check: I stop the machine before cleaning it, right?

Watch out
Do not assume you understood a button or sequence. Ask a specific question and repeat the steps back for confirmation.
